The City Attorney presented a plat ot Salls Subdivision Uni~ 1 which re.plat~ed
Salls 1st Addition, 2nd Addition and 3rd Addition into one plat. He reported that
the plat was being revised to include the areas on either side ot Prescott Street.
He indicated the area adjoining the plat which was occupied by a lake and asked
the Commissioners it they would like to have a dedication ot the lake also. After
some discussion, the City Attorney was instructed to try to secure the dedication
ot the lake so it would be in the City limits too. Mr. D. A. Salls was not present.
Commissioner Strang moved that Ordinance 671 (intention to annex Salls
Subdivision Unit 1) be considered on its second reading by title only by unanimous
consent.ot the Commission. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and
carried unanimoUSly. The City Attorney read Ordinance 671 by title only.
ComBdssioner Strang moved that Ordinance 671 be passed on its second reading
by title only. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried
unanimou sly.
Due to the fact that the required thirty days had not elapsed since the
passage at Ordinance 670, intention to annex Skycrest Unit 10 and part ot Oak
Acres Unit 6, consideration ot Ordinance 672, annexation at Skycrest Unit 10
and part ot Oak Acres Unit 6, was deterred.
The City Attorney read the Resolution ~ich would assess the cost ot the
sanitary sewer in Blocks F, H, J and K, Boulevard Heights Subdivision, against
the benefited properties. The Commission discussed several of the assessments
where complaints had been made by the property owners that the proposed assessments
were excessive and not in accord with the benefits received. The Mayor suggested
that the Commdssion pass the Resolution at this time and take care ot the
inequities as objections are made. Commissioner Kennedy moved that the
Assessmen~ Resolution for sanitary sewer in Blocks F, H, J and K, ot Boulevard
Heights Subdivision, be approved and passed as submitted. Motion was seconded
by ComDdssioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
The City Engineer presented a sketch showing the proposed seawall line for
Lot 2, Bayside Replat, owned by Mr. E. W. Barger, Jr. Atter some discussion,
the Mayor addressed Mr. Barger saying that Commissioner Bates and Commissioner
RUBsell were on the original Committee and had recommended a line that would be
a continuation of the present seawall and com~ng back in a westerly and northerly
direction. He reported that the entire Comndssion as a Commd~tee had inspected
the site and reviewed the line but that since Commissioner Russell was not
present the Committee did not wish to make a reeGmmen4a~10D. S, consent, the
the matter was deferred to the next meeting.
Item 7-D, Discussion ot method ot assessment for sanitary sewers on South
end o~ Clearwater Beach, was deferred.
Regarding the report of the Committee on the removal of R-l restrictions
from certain lots on North Fort Harrison Avenue in Navajo Park Subdivision,
Commissioner Bohannon stated that since Commdssioner Russell had been out of
town they had not had an opportunity to formulate a final report and he would
prefer to defer the matte~ until Commissioner Russell would be present.
In regard to Agenda Item 7-AJ, "Committee report on the letter from Paul
Randolph with re~erence to relocating property lines on Lots land 11, Block 264.
Carlouel", the Mayor stated that the Committee had gone over to Clearwater
Beach and looked a~ the lots. However, he said Mr. Randolph had requested
permission to meet with the Committee before having the matter taken up a~ a
regular meeting of the Commission. By consent, the matter was deferred.
Regarding the proposed paving and storm sewer for Duncan Avenue trom
Gulf-to-Bay to Druid Road, the City Manager reported that Mr. James Karas and
Mr. Allen McKay, who own approximately 50% of the attected property or the part
south of Turner Street, were in favor of the project but would like to know it
the City would assume part of the cost of the storm sewer since it would serve
a much larger area than the immediate adjoining property. The City Engineer
estimated that it the City would assume the difference in cost between an
18" sewer (which would be used under normal conditions) and the recommended 30"
sewer, then the City would pay about 7/12 of the cost of the sewer.
Comndssioner Strang suggested that the Commission proceed with the Public
Hearingp that allot the storm sewer be put in as a complete project, and that
the pav2ng could be done on just the south halt of the project if the other
owners objected to the paving project. Commissioner Strang moved that a
Public Hearing be set up on Duncan Avenue drainage and paving trom Gulf-to-Bay
Boulevard to Druid Road on February 7, 1955, and that bids be asked tor on
both projects. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried
unanimously.

resurfacing program in the future. After some discussion, the Mayor suggested
that the Commission work on an overall street resurfacing program to have it ready
so that funds can be appropriated in the new budget year starting in July.
Commissioner Bohannon inquired as to whose responsibility it was to repave
the streets after they have been opened to lay sewers and utilities. The City
Attorney stated that the contractors or the utility companies were now under bond
to repave the streets properly. The City Manager reported that the Florida
Power Corporation had repaved the whole intersection at Cleveland and Fort
Harrison. Commissioner Bohannon suggested that the Manager write them a letter
of appreciation.

Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Middleton:
This company has entered into a contract to purchase Lots 1, 2 and 45 of
Drew Park Subdivision, according to map or plat thereof recorded in Pla~ Book 3.
Page 40, Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida, for use as off-street
parking for company vehicles and equipment and also for the storage of materials.
It is our understanding that the above described property is presently
zoned as Residential R-l and, therefore, cannot be utilized by this company for
the purposes planned, unless and until the same be re-zoned to another classifi-
cation. Accordingly, we respectfully request that this matter be brought to the
attention of the City Commission to the end that a change of zoning be accomplished.
As you probably know, this property 1s located immediately south or the
right-of-way of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and is also located on ~e west
side of Vine Avenue, directly across that street from the company's Operation
Center! consisting of garage, service department, warehouse and other facilities.
It wou d, the~efore, appear that in this area the request for rezoning would not
be out of line, considering the use to which adjacent property is now being
uti li zed.
We are extremely desirous of augmenting our present space in order that we
can properly store our line materials and allow for much needed additional parking
area. We will be most appreciative of the City's cooperation in this matter and
any effort they may lend to expedite favorable action to this request will be of
considerable benefit to us.

Yours very truly,

In connection with the above request the Special Events Committee round that
the Art Center does play a definite part in the cultural life of our City; that
many Clearwater residen~s, as well as the tourist. enjoy its facilities includfng
the exhibits displayed in the Chamber of Commerce building. Each year several
scholarships are given in the Clearwater area and children under twelve years of
age are offered tree classes.
Therefore, after careful consideration, several meetings and a personal
inspection of the institution, the Commdttee recommends that the Florida Gulf
Coast Art Center be allocated $2,500.00 as a token of appreciation for the
excellent work they are doing in this immediate area.

Mr. Francia Middleton, City Manager
Cit.y ot Clearwater
Clear~ater, Fla.
Dear Mr. Middleton:
The Concrete floor of tne Scout Hut is in very poor shape it 18 really in a
dangerous condition. The Boy Scouts or America nave no funds to replace this floor
and a8 Trustee ot the building. I have been requsst.ed to aak you 11" the City could
not help ua in this matter.
The building is used for almost all of the Scout activ1~ie8 including the Court
ot Honor _bere there are 8S many as 300 adults attending. W. have as many as
30 Boy Scout meetings a month and a number of the Girl Scout Troops bave mee~ing
1n this building.
The Hillcrest. Neighbors Assn. also have all or their meeting in this building.
In general it is used tor recreation purposes by the community and recently a
Church group used it for their "Family Night" programs.
This building is also used as the regular Polling Place tor both t.he City and
County Elections.
We would appreciate it it you will present this matter to the City Commission tor
their consideration.

The Honorable Herbert M. Brown
Mayor of the City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Fla.
My dear Mr. Meyor:
The undersigned residents respectfully request the Clearwater Cit.y Commission
to take whatever action is appropriate to rid our neigb.borhood or the detinite
nuisance created by the Crooker Builders Supply Co. on East Aven~e between Court
and Ches~nut Streets. (Second block from the City Hall)
The windborne intermittent clouds or dust; (sand and cement) contaminate the air
continuously for several blocks, except wben there 18 rain. This same aggregate
covers East Avenue tram Court Street to Chestnut Street giving it the semblance '
of a country road.
The nois8 of (combustion powered) high boom crane. and hammering on mixers trom
6:00 A. M. throughout the day is most annoying and disconcerting to residents
and visitors alike, tor several blocks in tbis area.
We don't believe a progressive group of city Commissioners would agree that. this
is a suitable first view ot Clearwater, for visitors and prospective residents,
alighting trom the Seaboard trains at the station directly across the street.
We maintain this nuisance has been and is injurious to our health. property,
and business.
Signed by twenty-nine property owners

south of Turner Street, caere in fa�ror of the project but would like `�o know i�
the City *Nould asstame par� of the cost of the storm sew�,r since it would serv�
a much larger area than tkee i�nediate �.djoining proper�y. The City Engineer
estimated t.hat if the City would assume the difference in cost between an
1$� sewer (which would l�e used under nermal conditions) ar_d the recnmmended 30"
sevrer, then the City vrould pay about ��22' of tlxe �ost oP the sewer.

Hearing, that a1T oi the storm sewer be put in as a compl�te prAject, and that
�he paving could be done on just �he south half of the pro,�ect if the other
owners objected to the paviag project. Cammissioner Strang moved that a
Public Hearir_g be �et up on Duncan Av�nue drainage and paving from Gu1f-to-Bay
Boulevard �p Druid Road on February �, 1955, and that bids l�e asked for on
both projects. Motion was seconded by Commission�r Kennedy and carried

zoned as Residential R-3 and, therefore, cannot be utilized by this cnmpany for
the purpoaes plannec3, unless ��nd until the same be re-zoned to another c3,assifi-
cation. �lccordingly, ws respectfully req�iest that this matter be brought to the
attention oi ths City Commission to the end �hat a change n�£ zoning tse aecomplished.
As you probably kno�r, �thi,s propertp is loca�ed immsdiately south of the
right-of-way of the Seaboard A:ir Line Railroad and is also located on the west
side of Vine Avenue, disectly a�cross that street fror� the company's Ogerati�n
Center, consisting of garage, servlce department, warehouse and other facilities.
It would, thereiose, appear tha� in this area the request for r ezoning r�ould not
be out of liile, considering the use to which adjacent property is now being
utilized.
We are extremelp desirous of augmenting our present spa�e in order �hat we
can prnpea°ly store our line materials and allow fox much needed a�ditional pa.rking
area. We will be most appreciative of the Cit�r's caoperation in this matter arad
snp effort they may lend to expe�:ite favorable action �c� th�.s reques� evill be of
considerable benefit to us.

The Concrete floor of the Scout Hu� is in very poor shape it is really in a
dangerous condition. The Boy Scouts of America haVe no funds to replace this floor
and as Tsustee of the building, I have been requested to ask qau if th� City could
aot help us in this matter.
The building is used for almost all oi ths Scout activi.ties including the Court
of Honor wlnere thera are as many as 3Q0 adults attending. We have as many as
30 Boy Scout meetings a month and a number of the Girl Scout Troops have meeting
in this b�ailding.
'ihe H�.1lcrest Neighbors Assn. also r.ave all of their meeting in this building.
In general it is used for recreation purposes bq the community and recently a
Church. group used it for their "Family NightTM programs,
This building is also used as the regular Polling Place for both the Gity �nd
County Elections.
We would appreciate it if you will present this mat�er to the City Commission for
their co�nsideration.

The undersigned res�dents respectfully requezst the Clearwater City Commission
to take whatever action is appropriate to r:id our neighborhood of the definit�
nuisance created by the Crooker Builders Supply Co. on Eas� Avenue between CourL
and Chestnut Streets. (Second block from 4:he �ity Ha11)
The windborne intermittent clouds oi dust (sand and cement) coataminate tha air
co�tinuousl.y £or several blocks, except w`hen theme is rairr. This same aggrega�e
covers Eagt Avenue from Court Street to Chestnut Street giving it the semblance
of a country road.
The noise of (combustion powered) high boom crane, and hammering on mixers grom
6:OA A. M. throughout the ciay is �ost an�noying and disconcerting to residents
and visitor� alike, for several blocks in this area.
We don't believe a progressive gro�up of city Cgmmis�ioners would agree that this
i.s a suitable first view of Clearwater, for visitors and prospective residents,
alighting from the Seaboard trai.ns at the station directlp acrvss the street.
We maintain this nuisar3ce has been and is injurious to our health, property,
and businesso
